Sat, 27 Sep 2014 12:36:50 EDT13725Texas A&M travels to SMU for a nonconference clash on Saturday, which will be the Mustangs’ first game under interim head coach Tom Mason after June Jones resigned from the post on Sept. 8.
Last week, Chris Low took a look at possible candidates that SMU might consider as it searches for its next head coach. Two potential candidates are on the Aggies’ staff: offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital and receivers coach/recruiting coordinator David Beaty.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13716/examining-spavital-and-beaty-as-smu-candidates
Fri, 19 Sep 2014 13:00:50 EDT13716Remember Texas A&M's sparkling new locker rooms and training facilities they unveiled last month?
Well one portion of that project that wasn't complete at the time of unveiling was the Aggies' new players' lounge. This week, Texas A&M finally put the finishing touches on it and it looks like a college kid's dreamland. Playstation, X-Box, an arcade, flat-screen televisions, pool tables (with maroon felt), a movie theater and big, comfortable seating.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13706/movie-theater-arcade-in-am-players-lounge
Thu, 11 Sep 2014 22:40:43 EDT13706COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- On the first play of Texas A&M’s 73-3 win over Lamar, offensive coordinator Jake Spavital dialed up a deep pass play for his sophomore quarterback, Kenny Hill.
In the second quarter, when true freshman Kyle Allen entered the game for his collegiate debut, Spavital did the same.
The intentions were the same in both instances, even if the results were different: Hill underthrew the pass but connected with Speedy Noil for a 44-yard gain; Allen overthrew his attempt, intended for Jeremy Tabuyo, and it fell incomplete.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13702/assessing-am-qbs-hill-allen

Wed, 3 Sep 2014 15:52:01 EDT13697COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Perhaps the second-most popular question about this season’s edition of Texas A&M -- after the obligatory “What’s life without Johnny Manziel going to be like?” -- centers around the Aggies’ defense.
Will they be better? And if so, by how much?
After a disastrous 2013, defensive coordinator Mark Snyder is confident that improvement is on the horizon. He might not flatly state it, but witness the bounce in his step at practice, the energy in his voice and it’s easy to surmise that Snyder is looking forward to Year 3 in Aggieland.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13689/aggies-dc-snyder-looking-for-results-not-talk
Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:00:36 EDT13689COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- A couple days after Texas A&M named its starting quarterback, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital expanded on the decision to give sophomore Kenny Hill the nod for the Aggies' season opener Aug. 28 at South Carolina.
While there were several reasons for Hill's selection, the biggest one was his experience in the Aggies' offense, after having spent a year in the system already. That gave him an advantage over true freshman Kyle Allen, who arrived on campus in January.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13679/spavital-discusses-qb-decision
Tue, 19 Aug 2014 11:00:45 EDT13679COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Choosing a successor for a Heisman Trophy winner and one of the most electrifying quarterbacks in college football history would be enough to keep most offensive coordinators up late, obsessing over every detail in hopes of making the right decision.
If Texas A&M offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital is stressed out about that task, which is at the top of his to-do list this month, he doesn’t show it.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13671/spavital-ready-for-challenge-at-am
Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:00:30 EDT13671COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- If one of the two starting quarterback contenders, Kenny Hill or Kyle Allen, took a step in front of the other after the Texas A&M Aggies' first training camp scrimmage on Saturday, don't bet on Kevin Sumlin telling you.
After having a chance to review video from Saturday's scrimmage, Sumlin was asked late Monday night whether there was any separation between the two signal-callers after their first extended live action of this month.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13665/camp-notes-sumlin-mum-on-qbs
Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:00:40 EDT13665COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M wrapped up its eighth day of training camp on Saturday with a 92-play scrimmage at the Coolidge practice fields, giving the Aggies coaches their first real chance to evaluate their personnel in live situations. The starting quarterback battle between sophomore Kenny Hill and true freshman Kyle Allen continues with head coach Kevin Sumlin calling it "dead even" on Saturday, minutes after the scrimmage.
In reality, the coaches' video evaluation of that scrimmage and the first nine practices will be significant.]]>http://espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post/_/id/13656/camp-notes-qb-battle-continues
